Helping this couple build their first home was an exciting journey, focused on achieving their vision while strictly adhering to their budget. They wanted a cohesive, modern look that was both stylish and practical, and MJK Consulting guided them through every step of the selection process.
The couple chose a darker, monochromatic colour palette to create a sophisticated and contemporary feel. In the kitchen, they opted for woodgrain cabinetry in ‘Cinder’ paired with stainless steel appliances and brushed nickel pull handles, creating a sleek yet warm space. The choice of darker cabinetry was balanced perfectly with modern, clean lines and functional finishes.
The exterior was designed to maintain a monochromatic aesthetic, featuring dark grey brickwork complemented by a Monument roof and Night Sky garage door. This created a cohesive and bold street presence.
Inside, the couple continued the dark, textured palette, incorporating deeper tones in flooring, cabinetry, and finishes. The result was a beautifully cohesive home, perfectly aligned with their modern style while staying within budget.
This project demonstrates how strategic selections can achieve a high-end look without exceeding financial constraints.
MJK Consulting helped this couple make confident choices, ensuring a stylish and ready-to-move-in home that reflects their personal taste and lifestyle.
